Below the stage, a wave of laughter erupted, and the female reporter’s face flushed as she awkwardly sat back down in her seat.
Huangfu Jue had already declared that he was with Gan Yuan all night yesterday, so naturally, the rumor about "Gan Yuan spending the night with Moses" was self-defeating.
A man and a woman in love for six years, already with a child and about to get married—any infidelity scandal at this point seemed rather farcical.
"Duke, how do you view Miss Gan’s relationship with Moses? Just now, during an interview, Moses claimed he has known Miss Gan for a long time and their relationship is very intimate. What is your opinion on this?"
Below the stage, Will was feeling anxious for Huangfu Jue.
He knew this man’s temperament well and at this moment, his biggest concern was that the reporters might provoke Huangfu Jue, and if he had any extreme reaction, it would be easy for them to pick on any slip-up.
"Miranda has been my translator for eight years..." Huangfu Jue raised his hand, pointing to a female staff member of the Royal Palace standing below the stage, "We also have known each other for a long time, and our relationship is very intimate... So, do you think she’s my mistress?" Miranda was old enough to be Huangfu Jue’s mother, so of course, no one would entertain such an ambiguous conjecture.
Once again, laughter filled the space below the stage.
Huangfu Jue had successfully turned the tables on the reporter.
"For years, we have been talking about gender equality, but in your hearts, how many of you truly accept it." Huangfu Jue scanned the crowd, his gaze solemnly passing over the female reporters present, "It seems that when men make friends, socialize, it’s all beyond reproach, but why? Why can’t a woman meet with her friends, have a chat, or have a meal?!"
This stance immediately garnered the unanimous support of all the female reporters and staff present.
In a world that was predominantly patriarchal, it was far more difficult for a woman to succeed than for a man, and Huangfu Jue easily resonated with the crowd.
A female reporter stood up, energized, "Duke, I think you’ve spoken for all of us women. I retract my previous doubts about you."
"I believe that once you take over, our country will give more support and care to women."
Below the stage, Will heaved a long sigh of relief, looking at the man on the stage, his eyes filled with admiration.
In such a situation, to still be able to find such an angle to win over these sharp reporters to his side— their Duke was becoming more mature.
Separated by two floors.
In the study on the third floor, the live broadcast of the press conference inside the meeting room played on the computer screen.
Leng Xiaoye watched the confident figure of his son on the screen and curved his lips into a smile.
"You little rascal, now you’re playing nice with policies too!"
While he seemed optimistic, standing behind his chair, with one hand on the backrest, Huangfu Yaoyang’s expression was somber.
"You can’t wrap fire with paper."
Leng Xiaoye, of course, couldn’t keep such a big event from Huangfu Yaoyang. Every time he received news, he would share it with Huangfu Yaoyang— and that included Gan Yuan’s identity.
If Huangfu Qi could find out, and he could find out, then it was only a matter of time before others did too.
This point, of course, he understood as well.
Leng Xiaoye frowned slightly, feeling distressed yet helpless.
"You know he loves her." Huangfu Yaoyang reached out his hand to comfort her shoulder and turned to lean his head against his arm,
